Running to You

All's Fair in Love and Sports

De: Julie L. Spencer

Narrado por: Stephanie Quinn

At 16, Sammy had her sights set on track state finals and never paid much attention to the college guys who came to help her mom run their bed-and-breakfast. But that was before Brandon. He was young and strong and not that much older than Sammy.

Brandon took the job to help pay for college. It sounded easy: live in the apartment above the garage, be the handyman and groundskeeper, and run off to the dorms in the fall. He didn’t count on finding a family. He didn’t count on Sammy running away with his heart.

When tragedy strikes, Brandon has to make a choice. Be the big brother Sammy so desperately needs or admit his feelings run much deeper.

An amazing and emotional story!

This story was amazing!  This is a coming of age story.   The way story is written makes you feel the pull between the two main characters. Sammy is a year,  minus a day,  younger than Brandon.  He is in college and she is still in high school.   He has been hired, for the summer,  to take care of the landscape of the B&B sammy and her mom own.  Throughout the story he makes fun of how young she is.  However,  there are little things here and there that make her think maybe he likes her.   Her mom finds out that he has lost his parents and makes him a member of the family.   Now she is his "little sister".  She hates that he calls her that.   As the strain of the feelings are developing they continue as friends.   


The night they finally share their feelings for each other their lives are changed forever. 

I don't like spoilers in reviews, and there is a very big part of the story toward the end.   It was not something I ever expected.  There were definitely tears.

This was a sweet, clean romance that was loaded with emotion. The main characters are young, but have a lot to deal with as they are making the high school to college transition and have outside factors for which they have to rely on each other's support .

I may be biased but I love this story!
